ROTARY BLOTTER FOR PENHOLDERS.

'orm a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful .improvements in rotatableblotters for penholders, etc., and comprises various details ofconstruction and combinations and arrangements of parts which will behereinatter fully described and then specitica-lly defined in theappended claim.

I illustrate my invention in the accompanying drawings, in which Figurel is a verticall sectional view through tile device shown as applied tothe end of a penholder, Fig. Q is a` detail view of the tubular sectionsupon which the blot/3Y ter is adapted to be held, and Figs. 3, 4 and 5are detail sectional views of modilications of the invention.

Reference n ow being had to the details of the drawings by letter, Adesignates a hollow tube having a shoulder B about the same near one endwhich is threaded atv C for the reception of a threaded cap E. When saidcap is mounted upon the threaded'end of the tube, the outercircumference of the tube will be flush. A cylindrical blotter,designated by letter F, is adapted to telescope over the. shell or tubeA, after which the cap is Screwed in place in the manner shown in Fig. lof the drawings, said shoulder B and the flange of the ap cooperating tohold the blotter from movingA Specification of Letters Patent.

longitudinally. rlhe open end of the tube is adapted to be slipped overthe end of a pcnholder or pencil or any other object toi-mino' a holdertherefor.

In l ig. 3 I have shown a slight modification ot my invention in whichthe tube has lone end swelled, as at H, and its other end crimped, as atH', forming means for holding` the hlotter in place.

ln Fig. #t l have shown the tube having crimped ends l( serving the sameurpose, while in Fig'. 5 I have shown two te escope tul c; designatedrespectively by letters and N', the t'ormer of which has a crimped endwhile the latter has a swelled portion cooperating to hold the blotterin place.

From the foregoing, it will be noted that, by the provision ot a rotaryblotter as shown and described, a simple and elticient means is a[loi-ded which may be eaSil and quickly applied to a pencil or penholter and torming a convenient means for ready use.

What we claim to be new is In combination .with a hollow tubular Ishellhaving the opening in one end outwardly flaring and provided with acircuirr i'crential beading adjacent to said flaring end, .said Haringend adapted to conform to and receive the tapering end of a penholder, acap having a cylindrical shank portion tilted to said shell :5nd formingwith the circumference of the latter a bearing surt'ace, a hollowcylindrical blotter mounted upon .said bearing surface and held againstlongitudinal movement by said beading and tlange of the cap.

In testimony whereof we hereunto atlix our signature in the presence oftwo Witv ncsses.
